FreeBSD pen drive issue....
Hi there,
I am using freebsd 7.0 and I am facing a lot of issues with it. The cd installed fine. I opted for the gnome desktop and tht too installed (though the refresh rates were wrong and the resloution got messed up). After some configurations the desktop was working fine.
Then came the problem of mounting cdrom drives. I had to manually edit the /etc/fstab file and tht too worked fine. Then came the sound issue. I had to compile the kernel for tht too. The sond too worked fine.
The final thing tht does'nt and still not work is the pen drive. It does not mount. though I can see the relavent entries in the fstab but the device does not mount.
can anyone tell me what could possibly be going wrong??
BTW: this is a 5-6 yr old pc

cdde.xml
cdde.xml(5) cdde.xml(5)
NAME
cdde.xml - Configuration file for cdde
DESCRIPTION
When cdde is run for the first time, an example xml configuration file (~/.cdde.xml) is created for you:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cdde delay="5000000">
<drive path="/dev/cdrom">
<audio command="echo An audio cd was inserted."/>
<data command="echo A data cd was inserted."/>
<dvd command="echo A dvd was inserted."/>
<vcd command="echo A vcd was inserted."/>
<svcd command="echo A svcd was inserted."/>
<blank command="echo A blank cdr/dvdr was inserted."/>
<mixed command="echo A mixed (audio/data) cd was inserted."/>
</drive>
</cdde>
This default file is not very useful, and so I suggest you to edit it to your needs before running cdde again. You may add as many drive
entries, or commands as you like. If multiple entries are found for a type of disc then all entries will be run in the order they are
found.
The specific device in use can be passed to the command with one of the following special tags:
%dev% - is replaced with the device name of the cdrom that
just had a disc inserted
%mnt% - is replaced with the listed mount point for the
cdrom that just had a disc inserted
Note: %mnt% is determined through your fstab (usually located in /etc) file. If you do not have a listing for each <drive> in the fstab
this will cause problems.
This way, you can tell your video player which device to use when playing a VCD, for example.
EXAMPLE
This is an example of ~/.cdde.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cdde delay="5000000">
<drive path="/dev/cdroms/cdrom0"/>
<audio command="xmms %mnt%"/>
<data command="mount %mnt%"/>
<dvd
command="xterm -iconic -e mplayer -fs -xineramascreen 1 -dvd 1"/>
<vcd
command="xterm -iconic -e mplayer -fs -xineramascreen 1 -vcd 1"/>
<svcd
command="xterm -iconic -e mplayer -fs -xineramascreen 1 -vcd 1"/>
<blank command="gcombust"/>
<mixed command="mount %mnt%"/>
</drive>
</cdde>
